A Thread about Something

[Capper Al]

At another forum, I started probably their most successful thread with currently over 30,000 views and growing. The idea came from the Seinfeld show being about nothing. It is an off-topic thread. I'd like to do the same here in the Corner. Instead of being a thread about nothing, we'll call it a thread about something-- Something other than horse racing. (We'll leave the other forum with nothing.) So with that idea. I'll kick it off with nothing, or something -- whatever.

Getting ready to go to work. Need to start the pot roast in the slow cooker before I leave.

[canleakid]

Getting ready for my workout 'bout a 90 min. walk, jog & run thing and then ready to face the day. Tomorrow is our monthly family lunch, so to today it is the "BIG SALAD" day for me.

[Turfway Ed]

Going out to dinner tonight. Kentucky Hot Brown's at the Greyhound Tavern. Good food and Turfway Ed recommended if you're ever in northern Kentucky.

This thread may end up earning someone a hoodie. And that's a good thing.

Sitting here looking at books on bathroom fixtures and tile samples for a bathroom remodeling project I'm planning.

But, of course.....and plenty of butter, too. Give me a Dos Equis dark and don't reach close to my plate. You might lose a finger. Lol

Within the hour. I'm taking my dog for a 2.5 mile hike at Cuyahoga Valley national park. This trail goes straight up from the get go. It's probably equivalent to going up 15-20 flights of stairs. It's a killer..

After a trip to Saratoga, and now back for 2 days before going out again, luckily I have Saturday off this weekend, but most likely not Sunday too.

Next trip may be Pittsburg, then Jersey and back home. Out for a week then home 1-3 days , life behind the wheel, and if I only graduated from Auburn, would I be here?

hopin all our texas buddies are all ok and get your power up quick.
Be Safe down here

[nuthin2it]

Tornadoes just tore through the southern part of Dallas/Ft Worth, and the storm cells are moving in a northeasterly direction. Unfortunately, that's towards me so it ought to be an exciting evening. Just hope everybody stays safe.

[canleakid]

stay safe all, my daughter (high school teacher in Mesquite, Tx) is OK

[canleakid]

UPDATE, all the kids and straff are still in school, due to more storms in the area

[CKPark]

Our daughter is a teacher in Johnson county and our son-in law's office is in Lancaster. Both locations were hit, but our kids were safe and had no damage to their house. It was a bit of wondering and waiting until we heard from them. Our prayers were answered. There are so many who are less fortunate.

[Tiger Rose]

nice to see all is well with the texas group.
what a day 6-7 touching down almost at the same time.
hope it doesn't continue the rest of the week.

I see in an earlier post this thread has earned Capper Al the first hoodie give away.
Way to go.Now if one of our actual horse talk threads could come thru.That would make sense.But sadly seems only the same 4 posters are talking in them?

[richiec]

Been wanting to start a discussion about mentoring. I think it is lacking in TB handicapping and to the detriment of the sport. Just trying to read and understand the form by yourself is enough to make you a not so serious capper/player. I don't know what it is about it (maybe the fact it's paramutial) but you can ask someone at an otb what they think and you receive sour comments if any at all. I feel like they are holding the secrets of the world and cannot disclose them to anyone. There just does not seem to be discussions as to why did you choose this racer over that racer and what was the reasoning behind it. Where and what did you use to determine you choices or was it a gut thing??? Any interest????Or, is this some of those SECRET things we just don't talk about??? If it were not for this site and many of the friendly folks here my interest would have wained to non-existance. So Mr. Liam keep doing what you do. rc

unfortunately like most of the graduates this year, my son got a good job but not in his engineering field degree.Didn't buy a house but renting a nice one even closer than the 20 miles my daughter lives from me.He's moving in on the 5th so looks like more work for me.Nice to finally have them within reach daily.

Back in Grand Forks, and I don't know if I like horse racing anymore, it seems I'm trying to be something I am not.

You ever feel that way, or only after to lose your bankroll, and then when you get your next one, you feel okay again?

I knwo when I have time and do my homework, I find the winners, but I still manage to leave the track with very little $$$, thinking that I was that close to it, what ever it is...loser's depression, maybe?? If so, then maybe I do need a break from this.

That is my post about something, hopefully not too serious, but it is something, lol

You received your winnings, right? I just want others to know that I really do send the money out. You got by my hex because I was visiting with PaceAdvantage members at Arlington and forgot. Let your winnings ride at CBY.

I was so shaken this weekend that I'm considering buying commercial software like RDSS, HSN, or JCAPPER. It might be better to be a member in a community of an software user handicappers. It's tough going it alone on a weekend like this one.

Interesting point. I did play two tracks which I usually only play one. I might have lost focus. We'll get them next weekend.

Thank you for the kinds words, Sir.

But I and a few others, know you could never do well with other people's stuff, you need to be in control and do well at it too, I saw you at work, very impressive, your own program that you have total control over works for some people, for me I should go back to the old ways and use the Paper Edition of DRF, but then I would need to wear my reading glasses, but at least I did better then , now using software and playing too many tracks, may just be too ,much for feeble mind to handle, maybe...

Fourth of July, My days starts before the sun comes up, in Montana, heading to Elk Grove , Ca.

Beautiful sunrise behind me this morning, then I head south thru Yellowstone , but as I almost get into the park, 1/4 mile from the entrance a Bald Eagle swoops down out of no where in the road and I hit him, yes I hit him, big huge bird bounced right off my front bumper, I felt so bad, until he flew away, even if just a little bit to nearby tree, so off I go and I spend the night in Jackpot, Nevada, at Catus Pete's, not sure about fireworks here, but I ma just happy the Eagle flew away.

Thank you God

Truck driving sounds like an adventure. I hope you had a wonderful fourth. I grilled up some rib eyes for the family and, this time, the steaks came out just right and the wine was good.

Maybe it is slow because everyone has taken the same approach. I believe that people can't really be active members of more than one forum. If they have something to say, they say it one time, on one forum. No point saying it twice. I'd like people to be more loyal to this forum. I guess I'll keep using contests and give-aways to drive activity. In the long run it is worth it. But at some point I may just say "screw it" because it gets old people hanging out here for the contests and other places to engage in dialogue.

[Into_the_Mystic]

I love this site! You'd better not say "screw it" anytime soon damn it.

There is none of the drama B.S that is found at the other places... and that goes a long way.


I think you have a nice place here Liam and hope you will keep it up and running.







Plus, I have been busy decorating Clyde and mine's new thread and would hate to have to leave it unfinished. = : >

I mean....Mr. Grindrock;


I think I understand what you typed and do hope you don't seriously consider shutting down.For me,I feel a little guilty because some of the things I say may seem to ,at times, put me at odds with you but that's not at all true.It's just what I do,the way I am. It's fine my story wasn't printed.No offense in any way.You run a swell place and as far as I know you offer very generous prizes and do it in quantity. People can forget themselves,but when given a little notice they can also come around and maybe realize things should be a two way street.We can all be unconscionable freeloaders if left to ourselves.


Myself, I will not go to any other horsey board regardless.

Well, I can't even if I wanted to.

Oh I guess there's UpInFlames and Smurf n' Snorts....but I won't be a member anywhere else.


And if somehow I ever win a prize, I don't want any money.I would suggest something to you, but I would not take the money for me.Am not here for that. The reason I am here is because I like it and I am without parental supervision.Plus,Aretta's dupa is here.

Thank you so much, keep up the fine work here.

It seems websites have specialized. e-Ponies does contests and e-Ponies' picks well, but not blogging. God knows that I have tried in the Capper's Corner to get dialogues going. It's a niche audience here with its own agenda that is different from the blogger sites. There may be something to it. There might be more substance to this site. The message might be if you're so good save the BS and show me your picks.

[Grindstone]

I'm thinking I add some functionality to the forum and free picks section where people have to be active on the forum to get access to the picks. It would not be all that difficult to program. I don't think it is asking too much for folks to contribute to the community in order to receive something of value in return.

GREAT IDEA!!!!!!!!!!!!! 'bout 22% of our members are "active" so just 1 post form the 1,000 or so "active" members
would be GREAT !!!!!!!!!! so sound off about any thing you want to talk about, we have so far 4 post on this subject so start talking, heck we got the Breeder's Cup, the Ryder Cup, the presidential election, NFL & NCAA football (how 'bout them COWBOYS) baseball playoff's, life events, 15 forums to post on!!!!!!!!!!!

Downside is no Turfway Park or online betting accounts. The Georgia legislature is getting close to allowing a vote, but it hasn't happened yet.

Will be checking in with motel's Wifi and daughter's e-mail accounts while waiting for the Comcast cable/ internet guy.

My sister lives in GA. It's not as nice as Kentucky but it's not bad. People are nice there.

If you have a fairly modern iPhone or Android, you should be able to use it as a mobile hotspot from anywhere. It'll save you the money of paying the hotel for their crappy (usually) wifi.

Get a satellite connection to the Internet. This way you can handicap while you are waiting for your grandson to come to bat.

While other kids will have Goodnight Moon as a bedtime story, little Al is destined to have a handicapping spreadsheet as his bedtime story. Lucky baby!
